Why video export takes longer than the timeline
Estimate export time from a measured sample and investigate decoding, effects and encoding as separate contributors.

All guides
Practical explanations, documented choices and repeatable checks.
Codecs & Compatibility
Moving an edit between applications
Package a project handoff with reference media and test interchange limits before relying on XML or another exchange format.
Export Settings
Washed-out exports: a color-management checklist
Separate source interpretation, timeline transforms, exported color tags and player behavior before applying a compensation LUT.
Storage & Workflow
Variable frame rate and audio sync
Distinguish fixed offsets from progressive drift and investigate timestamps before changing frame-rate interpretation.
Storage & Workflow
Export fails at the same frame: isolate the cause
Use a duplicate project and a bounded export range to distinguish source, effect and output failures without destroying the edit.
Storage & Workflow
Backup and recovery for an editing project
Protect originals and the edit independently, then prove the backup works by reopening and exporting a copied project.
Storage & Workflow
A project folder structure that survives handoff
Organize originals, projects, generated media and deliveries so another person can locate the right files and recover the edit.
Performance & Hardware
Decode, effects and encode: three different GPU questions
Understand where acceleration can help and isolate playback, image-processing and output-encoding bottlenecks.
Performance & Hardware
Hardware vs software encoding: make a controlled comparison
Compare encoder paths with matched delivery settings and a real sample, keeping speed, quality and file size separate.
Performance & Hardware
Media cache: what it does and when to rebuild it
Separate regenerable cache from originals and use a controlled cleanup workflow when investigating editing problems.
Storage & Workflow
SSD and HDD roles in a creator workflow
Assign source, cache, delivery and backup roles to storage and test the workload before buying a drive.
Storage & Workflow
Plan recording storage from actual bitrates
Estimate recording capacity for multiple cameras and copies while keeping decimal units, overhead and reserve assumptions visible.
